Little Horn / Beast Identity SIMPLIFIED SERIES: Peter's Clue

The Beast is the heart of spiritual Babylon.
The Apostle Peter, while in Rome, referred to Rome as Babylon
The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
1 Peter 5:13. (nearly all scholars agree that Peter was at Rome when he wrote this and used "Babylon" to refer to Rome in this instance)
Q: But Why?
A: Despite various reasons given by scholars as to why Peter may have done this, Genesis to Revelation is inter-connected under surface as veins of gold beneath the ground.  Obviously the hand of the Holy Spirit guided him as it impressed him to write this.
The Little Horn entity rose up out of pagan Rome and that Beast entity that it is, is still in literal Rome to this day because it is one and the same.
(Peter gave you a clue)

"... the supra-metropolitan organization which resulted in the formation of the first Patriarchates of Rome, Alexandria and Antioch, owes its origin, not to the apostolic foundation of these cities, but to the fact that they were the most important cities of the Empire, the capitals of groups of provinces. 
Rome was more privileged in this way, because it was the capital of the Empire and the residence of the Emperors. 
Owing to the intimate connection of all Italian cities with the city of Rome by which they were regarded only as municipia, the Bishops of the capital of Italy and of the Empire were able to preserve direct jurisdiction over the whole of Italy, without the intermediary of the Metropolitans of the provinces, into which Italy was subdivided. 
The prestige of the Roman Bishop in Gaul, Africa, Spain, and Illyricum was great from the beginning, however, thanks not only to the circumstance that many of the first missionaries there came from Italy and Rome, and that Rome was the center of the Empire and the official residence of the Emperors, but also because of the veneration in which young Christian communities in the West held St. Peter,..., whose successors the Bishops of Rome claimed to be.  
When, however, Constantinople became the residence of the Emperors, it seemed necessary to lay more stress on the Apostolic and Petrine character of the Roman See. From the middle of the fourth century on, the Roman See was often called in the West, simply the See of Peter, and this use became general also in Rome during the time of Pope Damasus (336-89) who emphasized further the apostolic character of his See, calling it simply: sedes apostolica. From that time on, this usage became a general rule not only in Rome, but also in the whole of the West."
